Club Nintendo is a free service provided by Nintendo in which you can register Nintendo Hardware and Software for Coins, and redeem for them various pieces of memorabilia. It's a free service that only requires you register codes provided in all Nintendo hardware, first party games and some third party games.

Club Nintendo code expiration- Club Nintendo codes for games that came out in 2010 or later now more often than not have expiration dates on them. So despite what it might say in your To-Do list (which generally gives you 5 years), the codes actually expire in 4 years. We have already seen Sin & Punishment Star Successor codes expire even though they are still on people's To-Do lists. You cannot redeem the code once it had expired even if it is on your list.

- Here is a list of other games that are expiring during the current Club year (July 1, 2014 - June 20, 2015). So if you have these games, you should redeem them this year even if you don't need the coins for platinum status. Note that a few expire very soon.

NSMB Wii (actually came out in Nov. 2009 but just to be safe, it has been checked and still works if it is an original print code)Super Mario Galaxy 2 (only if original print code?)The Wii Sports/NSMB combo code that came with certain system bundles (??)

- Here you can find a list of all Hardware and Software that will give you Club Nintendo Coins. Only games released for the Nintendo DS, DSi, DSi XL, 3DS and Wii at either retail or via download will give you Coins.

Link for all the new values. Seems I got lucky with Mario Power Tennis when I got it for 50. That and Pikmin 2 are confirmed for 20 points though the graphic for the Play More, Earn More ad has yet to be updated.

That's not a very good link, besides they're all listed right there in Post 2. I typed them out myself.

Fixed the link, but you might want to rename the list from Old Coin Values to New Coin Values. I didn't bother checking it out because they named old. Also, Animal Crossing is now 20 points for either version.

WTF Nintendo? That's pretty crappy to change the values differently than their "warning" list . I specifically saved Animal Crossing City Folk (or didn't trade it) because they said it would only drop to 30 (as opposed to 20) and I figured that was enough to keep it for next year. I would have redeemed it if I knew it was dropping to 20.

I mean, it's not a huge deal, but considering that they posted the list of what was changing it was lame of them to change it once again after it's too late.

And there's definitely some problems with the site now. I'd hold off registering anything right away here. I had a pending survey for Advance Wars Days of Ruin. It still showed 30 coins for it in my To-Dos. But it showed Endless Ocean reduced from 50 to 30 - so I thought maybe they just hadn't caught up with all the games yet. But when I registered it I only got 20. So, yeah, that kind of sucks too to show one thing in the To-Do and another when you actually register it. I would have saved that one for next year since it was a "legacy" registration (from before the current Club).

Also, no change in my Platinum status for 2013 after registering - though it seems they don't even have a counter up for the new year yet. It doesn't say 0 or 20 - it just isn't there.

Thanks for all the hard work, KingBroly! I'm a little disappointed the Wii download this month is Mario Tennis N64 considering I just picked up Power Tennis a couple of weeks ago, but what are you going to do?

Awesome. Love the new thread. I grabbed the Mario Tennis for the Virtual console. I also noticed they are only for 2-3 weeks instead of the whole month so maybe we will get more game choices per month now. Not sure about the Electroplankton game. I have it for DS (the old version) and this version is only $1.99 on the eShop. Any people have any insight on it?

*Also redeemed Pikmin code to start the year off and it was only worht 30 coins. :(

Anyone who has registered codes for the 2013 year starting today, has your elite status meter gone up at all?

I registered about 180 coins worth of codes today at 2 am, made sure that the coin meter had reset and they're showing up as having been redeemed on 7/1. Despite this my meter's still completely empty though.

That meter is bugged atm and there probably isn't anything to worry about but I might hold off on registering anymore than I already have until it's fixed. I'm also hoping the coin values will be fixed on some of the titles that dropped more than what we were told last month.

In case anyone is looking for quick points, Toys R Us is having a sale that runs through tomorrow where you can get a $19.99 game and then a second for 75% off. This means you can pick up Nintendo Selects titles for about $27 or so after tax. You have to print out the coupon here if you are going B&M.

Same thing happened to me, I registered around 160 coins and the elite bar hasn't moved. Hopefully they can fix it.

That makes me a little nervous. I might wait a while until they have it updated. I have more than enough points sitting here for another 600 so I'll just have to sit down and do them all at once again.
